Nicene Creed 11 - The Ressurection of the Dead - 1 Corinthians 15:1-20

June 24, 2012

Langdon Palmer

Is holding on to dogma as bad as people in our culture think it is? How about the dogma that declares that God loves us so much that he wants to give us eternal life? What does the wilderness portage of a canoe from one lake to another have to do with eternal life? In this last sermon on the Nicene Creed, we look both at a summary of the creed as a whole, and the particular meaning of it's last phrase: "We look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life everlasting" In our modern scientific age is it really reasonable to believe in a literal resurrection of the body - a real new physical body at the end of days? It turns out that it is! For images and other resources on the creed go to http://www.southridgeworship.com/nicene_creed.htm
